“The truly free individual is only free to the extent of his own self-mastery” – Socrates
Day 3 of 21 for the 2021 Challenge, I’m pumped as hell!
This is a favorite quote of mine, I learned while researching Jocko Willink, and his idea of Discipline= Freedom.
I absolutely love this quote because it’s so easy. It’s straight-up exactly what you need to know. I didn’t think this was true until I did my 21 day all liquid fast in August. That was by far the most difficult thing I’ve done (for now) and the amount of peace, love, and calmness in my mind was beyond anything I’ve experienced up to this point in life.
I felt totally in control of all aspects of my life. Anything could’ve happened to me, and I still would’ve had total peace. Here I am searching for this feeling of control once again, I love it.
So if you come into a struggle during this time, remember “I am only as free as my own discipline”.
- “I control my emotions, not my circumstances”
- “How I do anything is how I do everything”
- “I am only as free as my own discipline”
